On behalf of the team at LifeQ, we’d like to say a huge
'THANK YOU'
Now that the pilot is complete, the final step is to roll back your device and return to the original Garmin vívosmart HR experience and all its amazing features.
ROLL BACK PROCESS
How to return your device to its original settings:
Step 1:
After you’ve received the email letting you know the pilot is complete, connect your Garmin vívosmart HR to the LifeQ Exchange App and follow the on-screen instructions to return it to the original Garmin features and settings.
Step 2:
Once the original Garmin configuration has been installed, disconnect your device from the Exchange App and allow the automatic update to complete.
The LifeQ Exchange App will be uninstalled from your computer at the same time.
Step 3:
All you need to do now is link your device to the Garmin Connect app, and and voila! You’re done!
How to setup your Garmin vívosmart HR device:
Please ensure that all of the LifeQ software is removed from your device AND computer prior to downloading the Garmin Connect application
To setup your Garmin vívosmart HR as if it were new, go to garminconnect.com/vivosmarthr and follow the Getting Started steps to link your device to your smartphone and/or computer.

How your experience will change
After your device has been returned to its original settings, your vívosmart HR will regain full Garmin functionality, and you will notice some changes in the way data is collected, uploaded and reported.
Along with the usual Heart Rate, Steps, Stairs and Calories metrics, the vívosmart HR will also display your Average, Low & High Heart Rates, Intensity minutes and Distance travelled on the device itself.
The Bluetooth connectivity on your vívosmart HR device will now be enabled, allowing you to sync it wirelessly to your smartphone. You will be able to receive notifications (incoming calls, WhatsApp messages, emails etc.) on your device as well as control music on your phone. The battery life on your device will also be extended, and should now last up to 5 days.
While the LifeQ enabled Garmin vívosmart © HR made use of the LifeQ Exchange App and LifeQ User Portal for uploading and reporting data respectively, the standard Garmin vívosmart HR makes use of a single tool, Garmin Connect, for registration, syncing data and reporting on your activity. The application can be installed on your smartphone as an app or on your computer, and makes use of the device's Bluetooth or USB connection to upload your data.
The dashboard on the Garmin Connect app is fully customizable so that you can keep an eye on the stats that really matter to you. With Garmin Connect, you will also be able to connect to friends to share and track each other’s data.
